 The Rutgers University Camden Marketing Association thanked anyone who donated a dollar, for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk, with a Hershey'sï hug & kiss. After receiving their hug and kiss, those that donated were asked to sign a banner the Marketing Association held as they participated in the Saturday October 5th walk.
 The night stared at 4 pm with music, face painting, clowns, raffles, and even Scooby Doo. At around 7 pm the walk began after Lauren Hart, the voice of the Philadelphia Flyers and a cancer survivor, sung the National Anthem. As the crowd got going Rutgers University Camden students, from the Marketing Association, Latin American Student Organization, Honors Student Organization, as well as students from the Law School, were among the many holding balloons illuminating the way. The night had an almost surreal feeling as the perfect 65 degree weather, a slight breeze from the river, the beautiful Philadelphia skyline, and Ben Franklin bridge, all came together to create a sense of pride in the waterfront that is not too often seen in the twilight hours.
 The little over a mile route was traveled by families and friends who walked in remembrance of loved ones, while some held tight the hands of those who are currently fighting or have recently won the battle. And still there were participants who were there just to show their support, such as a group of girl scouts who skipped along the path while singing "God Bless America." No matter what the reason one chose for becoming involved, they left knowing the impact one person can make on the lives of others.
